The Dirac quantization `procedure' for constrained systems is well known to have many subtleties and ambiguities. Within this ill-defined framework, we explore the generality of a particular interpretation of the Dirac procedure known as refined algebraic quantization. We find technical conditions under which refined algebraic quantization can reproduce the general implementation of the Dirac scheme for systems whose constraints form a Lie algebra with structure constants. The main result is that, under appropriate conditions, the choice of an inner product on the physical states is equivalent to the choice of a ``rigging map'' in refined algebraic quantization.

  1. Quantum geometry from higher gauge theory

    gr-qc 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The BFCG-Yetter model and the KBF state sum produce the same single-4-simplex amplitude when evaluated on boundary states called G-networks.

  2. On the relation between perspective-neutral, algebraic, and effective quantum reference frames

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For ideal quantum reference frames with a single constraint, the perspective-neutral, algebraic, and effective semiclassical approaches describe the same physics and the same frame-switching rules.

  3. Wheeler-DeWitt equation and Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) symmetry

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    BRST-invariant extensions of the BMS generators are constructed and used to define matrix elements between Wheeler-DeWitt states.

  4. Hamiltonian quantization of complex Chern-Simons theory at level-$k$

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The physical Hilbert space of complex Chern-Simons theory on an m-holed sphere at even level carries a Fenchel-Nielsen representation in which Wilson loops along pants-decomposition cuts act as multiplication operators.

  5. Crossed products and quantum reference frames: on the observer-dependence of gravitational entropy

    hep-th 2024-12 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gravitational subregion entropy is observer-dependent: different quantum clocks produce different von Neumann algebras and different entropy functionals for the same global state.

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Existence of background-independent Fock representations for canonical quantum gravity with matter, producing a separable Hilbert space unlike LQG.

    hep-th 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Reviews construction of physical inner products in canonical quantum gravity via group averaging and BRST formalism, illustrated in mini-superspace models and connected to path integrals.
